The key to cancer treatment-supplementary nutrition In the process of cancer treatment, fatigue often comes without warning. During the day, it is easy to get sleepy when you just get up, and you are inattentive and feel exhausted. As a result, I became particularly irritable and anxious, and my appetite became very bad.
Rola Chen, a nutritionist at Donna, said that during the treatment, both chemotherapy and radiotherapy may have side effects. If it is too serious, it will affect the immunity and quality of life, and even the course of treatment may be interrupted. Therefore, it is most important to follow the regular treatment from the standpoint of a nutritionist, but timely supplementation of "key nutrients" is an important part of cancer treatment.
Although there are many kinds of nutrition and health care products on the market, each has its own emphasis, but Rola Chen said that it is necessary to supplement nutrition and health care products, because in the process of cancer treatment, healthy and normal cells will also be destroyed, thus reducing human immunity. Therefore, supplementary nutritious food should focus on its function of restoring physical strength and immunity.
"Promotion and repair"-the main function of fucoidan, which is a common cancer nutrition. Rola Chen said that the benefits of fucoidan extracted from caged fucoidan are actually supported by many studies, which can be roughly divided into four functions, namely, * * * enhancing immunity, making cancer cells self-apoptosis, reducing tumor neovascularization and repairing damaged mucosa.
Small files of fucoidan
Fucoidan, also known as fucoidan, is a kind of deep-sea algae with dark color and large volume. Ordinary kelp is a kind of fucoidan. The "polysaccharide" extracted from brown algae is a viscous component, which consists of more than 10 special fucoidan molecules. It has been proved that it can enhance immunity. Like cage brown algae growing in Hokkaido, Japan, there is a waterfall-like content of brown algae polysaccharide. In addition, mushrooms also contain polysaccharides.
First, the immunity of * * * is improved.
Rola Chen Kuo said that polysaccharides belong to macromolecules. When macromolecules enter the intestine, they can activate the immune system. "The intestine is a cavity covered with many immune cells. When macromolecules enter the intestine and touch the intestinal wall, they will be regarded as "foreign bodies" by immune cells, which will indirectly awaken immune cells in standby state and make immune cells enter preparation state. 」
20 17 the research of Hokkaido information university in Japan also found that fucoidan in brown algae is helpful to improve the immune system. In 30 healthy subjects, 80 mg of fucoidan was consumed every day. Results After 8 weeks, the contents of natural killer cells and immunoglobulin IgA were higher than before, and natural killer cells were just immune cells that could fight cancer cells, which was equal to helping patients.
This is also a successful case of fucoidan in human body. Of course, there are also studies that cancer patients' cancer index drops and their quality of life improves after eating.
Second, let cancer cells die by themselves.
Under normal circumstances, cells will metabolize, live and die, and die naturally when the life cycle comes, but cancer cells lack the ability of "natural apoptosis" and will continue to proliferate and metastasize, so the treatment is very difficult; Fucoidan can start the "death switch" of cancer cells, and finally make cancer cells self-apoptosis.
Third, inhibit tumor angiogenesis.
Because cancer cells don't die and grow fast, they need a lot of nutrition and oxygen, and many capillaries will be born to transport nutrition. Fucoidan can inhibit these new blood vessels and prevent cancer cells from obtaining nutrition and oxygen, thus inhibiting the proliferation, metastasis and spread of cancer cells.
Fourth, repair the injured mucosa.
Fucoidan is a kind of sulfur-containing polysaccharide, which has a unique and special effect, that is, "repairing mucosal cells"; People with gastric ulcer, or people who want to keep their skin Q-elastic, can take this polysaccharide. For cancer patients, oral ulcers and gastrointestinal ulcers caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy can also be relieved by fucoidan.
Rola Chen explained that "enhancing immunity" is the strongest evidence to support anti-cancer. It is suggested that doctors should give priority to conventional treatment, and fucoidan can be regarded as "cancer adjuvant treatment", which is helpful to the smooth progress of conventional treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, reducing side effects and relatively contributing to the therapeutic effect.
If you want to improve your immunity, Rola Chen suggested that you choose fucoidan with world patents or cancer prevention patents, and you should also consider the types of brown algae.
For example, the captive brown algae used for human research in Hokkaido Information University in Japan has three configurations: U, G and F. Among them, G can increase the activity of NK cells, while U can make cancer cells commit suicide, and F can promote the secretion of hepatocyte regeneration factor HGF, help cells repair, and choose the appropriate structure, which can have corresponding effects without large consumption. Finally, if there is no heavy metal residue after human clinical trials and scientific research reports, it will be more reassuring to eat.
On February 2, this year, Kloc-0, 65438+ Saturday, a free care lecture was held at the Brainstorming Conference Center of National Taiwan University. In particular, Dr. Wang Chongyi, the revitalization authority of radiotherapy department of our hospital, and nutritionists from Rola Chen were invited to share with you the correct cognition and nursing points in the face of cancer, and to teach the key to anti-cancer how to start with daily diet, so that patients and caregivers can reduce their stress and face the anti-cancer process optimistically.
